The Other American Bike

Here at Franklin Motorcycles we’re proud to represent the Indian brand. As we’ve grown over the last few years we’ve seen some very interesting machinery come in. We’re happy to take all and any brand of motorcycle, and even the odd car, as trade ins. Every now and then we get something very interesting to sell and this week we’ve put a very rare Harley Davidson Fatboy on the floor.

The other ‘American brand’ are celebrating being in business almost as long as Indian and to that end they’ve released a limited run of anniversary specials. This one is the iconic Fatboy and as the anniversary special it’s numbered 813 of a production run of only 1100 models available worldwide! They are, of course, all sold at this point.

This bike is powered by the bigger 114ci big twin, all new, Milwaukee Eight V Twin Motor and is sitting on a very impressive 240mm rear and 160mm front tyre. These, when combined with the solid disc wheels, give the machine that undeniable muscular look.

The bike is finished with a set of Vance and Hines two into two chrome pipes and the simple sissy bar which offers the pillion comfort while not taking anything away from the classic look of the bike. The screen on the front of the machine is a quick release affair that is easy to fit or remove without tools.

The bike is finished in the very tasteful Legend Blue on Vivid Black. The seat is a comfortable 675mm affair, the fuel injection is clean and the rake of the front forks makes for a dynamic handling motorcycle. New this cost €28,000, this one is still on a UK plate, but we’ll organise getting it registered for you.

The extras are worth €2,500, the total value of this package is €30,500. The great news is that this bike has less than six hundred miles on the clock! As such it comes with a full factory warranty and all the associated privileges. Give any of the team a call on 015385005 to express an interest. With the price on this one being dropped to €27,000 we don’t expect to have it in stock for long…
